If you're wondering at the cause of the crash, it sounds like a classic stall-spin situation. Holding the up elevator all the way to the ground was making things worse, not better.

Basically, you over banked the turn, then stalled the wing with a combination of elevator and aileron imput. I doubt there was anything wrong with the plane prior to impact.
